HARMONY OF THE BODY WITH THE MIND

We have mentioned that when we walk, we must let time flow by making him his ally and after 10-15 minutes, his body and mind will be doing intimately coordinated activities, with a total abstraction of time. This way of harmonizing the body with the mind, through walking and reading, leads us to a full liberation. You will not be able to distinguish if time travels next to you, or if you also went to walk through other paths in the same park or maybe beyond, the truth is that, as if by magic, you slip away and lose contact with him.

The same thing happens -and sometimes even more deeply- when combining walking with writing. For me it is much more liberating and allows me to abstract to a greater extent this last combination; the proofs of this are overwhelming, because I usually walk, on average, 1.6 miles (2.6 kilometers) of travel, but when, instead of reading, I prefer to write, I always exceed this distance by 30 to 50 percent of that distance. Of course, these differences have to do with the inclinations of each person and with the type of reading selected -more or less interesting or exciting- and with the kind of text that has been decided to write.

REASON TO SHARE THE SYSTEM

The main reason that motivated me to share this method is to be able to convey the importance of reading and writing while human beings walk, because their intellectual capacity is enhanced, mental functions (thinking, imagining, creativity, memory, etc.) increase, and improve their ability to learn and process the information they have. We could assure that this generalized increase in the capacities of the human mind, is sought through the exercise that makes work areas of the brain, which in a state of rest, remain less active.

Difficult is to scientifically demonstrate these possibilities that walking leads us to better levels of our mind. However, the experience has been enough to consider it.

Mental abilities increase when we move, so it is recommended that we carry out reading and writing activities during those trips. We must experience it ourselves and obtain our own conclusions and also evaluate the results through these practices.

WHO DO I WANT TO BE? WHO AM I?

This unit could also be titled “The things we learn by reading and writing”.

Traducido al Español

We know unfailingly that there are infinite things we can learn by reading; however, there is a basic question that always, at some time in our existence, we ask it: know what we want to be!

How can we achieve it, through reading? Reading the literary works of different authors will come to understand their different ways of seeing reality, thinking and what they have done and tried to do in their respective lives, information that will guide us in our existence to give a committed response to the coveted Who I want to be ?, responding reliably and genuinely what we want to be.

On the other hand, it has also been very difficult to answer the question Who am I?

How will we achieve it? In a decisive and undoubted way we can achieve it through writing. The practice of writing is a creative medium that allows us to discover and express what we think and what we feel (what and how). In this way, it guides us in the knowledge of ourselves: it helps us answer the complex and committed question of: Who am I?

Both activities, reading and writing, linked to our walks, give us the answer, in an integral way, to the questions: Who am I? Who do I want to be?

OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM

The WALKING READING, WRITING AND DRAWING SYSTEM (WALK-RWD SYSTEM) pursues several interconnected objectives: the walk that the individual allows the physical development and that can be carried out with a group simultaneously with  reading, writing and drawing. This activity allows us to penetrate knowledge, at the same time we are helping our body to achieve better conditioning. In this way, we are inviting our intellect to participate in new knowledge, taking advantage of the moments in which our body is exercising. Finally, we also have the opportunity to participate in art, through literary creation and drawing. These activities, reading, writing and drawing, allow us to venture into a cultural environment, which we can only set limits. The person who reads can write; the individual who reads a lot, can become a writer This dynamic of integral development, is an excellent means to incorporate art, literary creation, in any of its genres that you want, to the visual arts and be prepared to achieve it , either because he has innate abilities or because he is training him. With this multidynamic method we can exercise our physique and also experience knowledge and art.

PLANNING-EXECUTION-AND GOALS

Our daily activities, whether at work or at home, including recreation and vacations, inevitably fall into the process of planning (programming), execution and achievement of goals.

The 3 phases are acts of personal fulfillment, but each individual enjoys them in different ways, and therefore they engage in them with different intensity. It’s the same as what happens with the activities of walking, reading, writing and drawing.

We must be aware that those 3 phases must be fulfilled in that order to achieve any goal, be that of walking exclusively or combined with reading, writing or drawing. Any of these creative activities, which integrate the method, can be developed in combination with the walk. It often happens to us that the planning of any of these activities is more important and interesting than its execution or the achievement of the goal, and this motivates us to devote more attention and time to the plan and to the programming. For other people the execution is more attractive than the planning of the actions, and of course there will be others that what only satisfies them and motivates them is to reach the goals. In us is to execute the 3 phases consciously and enjoy them according to our benefit and preference.
